Is that too much to ask?

When I look into your eyes

Boy, I'm feeling delirious

But you know this is serious

I'm sticking to you like glue

Only see you now and then

I could be there, just tell me where and tell me when

So tired of these roads going nowhere

But I know your love takes me somewhere

Still looking up and down

while you're being mysterious

I see really big things for us

We just need to break through, break through, break through

Everything that you say

God I wish I had said it first

And forgetting I had ever hurt

Your love is pulling me through, me through, me through
